My Poor Tall Snapdragons!?

They have grown 2.5 feet tall since March and were looking superb. But now they are wilting one by one. I undug one to see the roots. They were white and not slimy - not rotted from overwatering. I live in GA. It is 85 degrees here already but their soil is very well prepared, soft and absorbs water well, but yet has good drainage. The wilted plants are still green with buds but just hang down. Couldn't find any insects or mice. All the affected plants are on the west side on the garden. All the good ones are on the east side! Very mysterious!

The west sun might be too hot for them. Test by shading one in the hot afternoon and see it it perks up. Our west sun is a real killer here in our zone.
